Cruise Speed - Raymarine autopilot control unit Owner's Handbook Manual

Chapter 7: Adjusting Autopilot Settings

Cruise speed

Set the cruise speed to the boat's typical cruising speed. If both the
boat's speed through the water and speed over ground are unavailable
via SeaTalk or NMEA, the autopilot will use this default cruise speed
when computing course changes.

AutoAdapt
The AutoAdapt feature allows the autopilot to compensate for
heading errors at higher latitudes, which are caused by the increasing
dip of the earth's magnetic field. The increased dip has the effect of
amplifying rudder response on northerly headings in the northern
hemisphere, and on southerly headings in the southern hemisphere.
Options
AUTOADAPT OFF
AUTOADAPT nth
AUTOADAPT Sth
Note: If you set AUTOADAPT to nth or Sth , you then need to enter your
current latitude in the next screen ( LATITUDE ), so that the autopilot
can provide accurate course keeping by automatically adjusting the
rudder gain depending on the heading. If you have a GPS connected,
the autopilot will take latitude information from the GPS.
